      These were very good, and a nice alternative to frying in a ton of oil! I find with plantains, it's better to go by the feel as well as the color. I've bought plenty of yellow/black plantains that were still very firm, and not very sweet when cooked. It's best to make sure they're starting to feel a little soft when purchased (like a nicely ripe banana), because then never really seem to ripen/soften fully by siting out on the counter!

      This is an EXCELLENT alternative to fried plaintains! If you have never tasted the fried version, you would not know the difference. The only difference is these are not drowning in oil (or calories)! Be sure to cook them long enough and I only flip them once about 1/2 way through.

      Delicious! I made these and topped them with a drizzle of Sukari Sauce, for an African themed event for 2000 women. They were a HUGE hit. We served them over ice cream (it was 110 that day). The sweetness and texture of the plantain, the creaminess of the ice cream, combined with the tangy, savory sauce created an explosion of flavor and texture in your mouth.

      Savory Sauce: Equal parts sugar, balsamic vinegar, and water. Add a teaspoon or two of ginger, cinnamon, a dash or two of allspice. Boil and cook on high until reduced by half. Add a pat or two of butter at the end, which finishes the sauce with a little fat to mellow the acidity, and wow....

      I give it a 3. Partly because I should have let the plantain ripen more. I think the fried version would taste more authentic, but I surely enjoyed the baked version plenty and enjoyed the less amount of grease going into my body :-). I will try this one again with a ripe plantain.

      Delicious!! I haven't had maduros since I studied abroad in Costa Rica in 2007 and was really craving them and this hit the spot! Obviously not as good as traditional ones since everything tastes better fried but really close! Thanks!!

      This was a great alternative to fried plantains. Next time, I plan to smash them a bit flatter when they're almost done, then finish baking. Served as a side with Cuban sandwiches and black beans. Thanks for posting.

      10 frickin stars!!!! I have been eating fried plantains all my life and these are so good minus the calories. I can't wait to introduce my mom to these! This is all the goodness without patting them on paper towel. I am actually very excited (so sad, lol) because I've really cut back on them but now I can have them all the time without the guilt.

      Plantains are at their ripest when all of the skin is black and it almost looks as if it has gone bad. Since it is being baked, it is also good to sprinkle just a bit of salt over the plantains as this will bring out the sweetness more. I usually fry mine as is what should be done as this fruit is naturally starchy. However, I did try this recipe and it was "ok". You still get a good amount of calories from spraying both the cookie sheet and then the plantains too. I also baked mine at 400F instead of 450 as I used the ripest ones and the natural sugar would have burnt. I will stick to pan frying as this recipe just didn't have them tasting the way they should.

      I love plantains - yellow ones, black ones, even green ones. So when I found this way of preparing maduros in a healthier manner I was just giddy with excitement. Prepared them this afternoon as a side for my lunch. They were beautiful to behold, a bright golden hue with some nice browning at the edges. One bite out of the pan and I was sold. Another bite... They never made it as a side as I was done with my single plantain before lunch was done cooking. Thanks Ang!

      These were yummy, simple to make, and didn't make a big mess of my stove top. They tasted just the way plantains should. :) Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.

      Sometimes simplicity is best! These would be the perfect foil to a more elaborate Latin dish. Maybe as a garnish for paella? I do recommend that the plantains be allowed to blacken, and not to attempt using ordinary bananas as they are just not the same creatures. These are a little high in carbs which I try to avoid, but they do have a little fiber and just a few of these on the side as a sort of garnish would be perfect, since they have their own richness brought about from the browning/caramelizing. Made for ZWT4, team mate! Thanks for having such an easy but also "elegant in its simplicity" recipe for me to enjoy on the tour. ~Sue
